Learn to Love Again God's Way

Waiting for 25 years on a dream to sing for the Lord, to actually see my singer-songwriter gift manifesting, takes a lot of faith. Without faith, you cannot please God. You just can’t do it. You have to believe Him. You have to trust Him, and I am trusting Him. Yes, I have been trusting Him, and I will continue to trust Him by the grace of God.  I want Love Again LA to be a place of faith, where…

Don’t you see it all around? Don’t you see it? God’s crown Lying on top of the land Above all where you stand. Don’t you see it? Falling down As you cast down your crown. Don’t You love it? Make a sound. Don’t you feel it? It’s going down. Love and peace, Shirah Chante, Relationship Artist P.S. My new book on meditation, “The Meditation Model” is coming soon!

In today’s meditation, I asked you to think about your own thoughts and your own heart. So many times in life, we cater to those around us, our family members, our husband, our wife, our son, our daughter and rightfully so. However, there is a time, an opportunity for yourself for you to go within your thoughts. What do you think about this situation? What are your opinions? Not only what someone…

I have a friend I’ve known for many years, but I hadn’t talked to him in 30 years, basically. I knew him from my college years, and we got back in touch with one another. I had been talking to him a little bit, and one day God gave me a message for him. Over the years, God has used me in this way to deliver messages to certain people. Usually they’re leaders. Usually they’re church leaders, I’m…

God called me to sing for him in the fall of 2000. I was attending Colgate Rochester Divinity School, studying to learn about God. I went to learn about God. That’s it. I didn’t go to become a minister or to be any particular being. I just wanted to know God better, and I thought going to seminary or divinity school would be a great way to do that.  I believe this was on the Day of Atonement or…

I didn’t always want to be a missionary in Compton, California. I actually wanted to be a doctor when I was a little girl. I wanted to heal people. That’s what I told my mom’s friend when she asked me what do I want to do when I grow up? I said, I want to heal people. I believe then she said, oh, you want to be a doctor as if that’s the next step to healing someone. But little did I know that my…

I remember teaching at a Christian school in Compton, California in 2019 right before covid hit the world. I was so excited. I was moving back to Los Angeles after living in Houston for about five years. It was a new and exciting adventure to be able to teach in a Christian school and also teach in Compton. I felt kind of like a missionary, like someone who would go to Africa, India, or China.…

What do I mean by love again, really? Wow, that’s a good question. It started off, my vision was to learn to love again. That was my goal, to teach you to love. We were never really taught love 101, that was my saying, and so, how do we know we’re in love? How do we know how love feels? How do you know all these things? And I truly feel like a lot of these things are missed because we just don’t…

Back on my divorce diaries, I wanted to talk about love again. That’s the vision I have for this site. Falling in love again after a failed love, after falling out of love, and perhaps maybe you had a time of singleness. I know I did. Istill am single. But what if you fall in love again? And what if to be happy and really to be able to express love on earth is possible? And I believe it’s a…

That’s me giving myself away, walking down the aisle alone on my wedding day. It wasn’t that my daddy didn’t want to be there, it’s just that the wedding was very last minute. It was almost like we eloped. My whole family knew, our families knew, but they didn’t know because we were taking a trip together with some friends, and we were all going to Jamaica. We thought, hey, why don’t we have a…

I want to talk about faith in marriage and how important it is to stay with God, stay close to God in your marriage. When I started dating my ex-husband, we were making an effort, an honest effort, to have a relationship with God and to keep God first by reading the Bible with each other, praying with each other, almost daily at the beginning. It’s, you know how new love is, everything’s fresh…

So thinking back on a question I asked my ex-husband before we got married about his vision for marriage, and he told me he wanted a companion, and I instantly thought that I could totally fulfill that role or that desire. A companion, I mean, what’s that? Like a friend, right? Like a buddy, someone to hang out with and to do things with and live life with. I thought, ah, easy, easy peasy. No…

I was happily married five years ago from today in Jamaica, a very beautiful Caribbean island. Getting married was a dream come true. I married a guy from my high school, so I thought he was a safe catch. After many years of wanting to be married and not finding love and wondering what’s wrong with me, I settled on a solution and that was him. The feeling was mutual as he told me “I better take…

“True Sun loves endlessly noticing, no slight less than divinity.” So basically in this line here, sun is a reference to the son of God, true son, loves endlessly and noticing no slight less than divinity, meaning when we believe in Jesus Christ, the son of God, He takes on our punishment for us. He’s the lamb who was slain for us.  Passion has been brewing in my spirit, like a word. Sometimes…

Don’t fear. Don’t be afraid to get close to God. Yes, we want to fear the Lord. We want to have a healthy respect for God. When people say “fear the Lord,” it means knowing that God is going to do exactly what He says He’s going to do. That should give you a holy reverence deep down in your soul. It makes you think twice before doing something wrong. But we do not want to fear getting close to…

Madea said, “Be a good girl. Listen to your mama. Don’t cause no trouble.” I love my grandmother, who is now with the Lord Jesus Christ. She went home 13 years ago. She was the one who kept us together. Every family has someone like that, the one who organizes everything, who creates a welcoming space. People just want to be around them. That was my grandmother. She was a strong Christian woman,…

Love does not parade itself. It is not puffed up. When I think of parading, I think of a parade like the Thanksgiving Day parade in New York where people walk down the street showing who they are and what they have. Love doesn’t do that. It doesn’t show off. It’s not egotistical. Let’s go back to the Olympic example. The husband wins a gold medal. He’s number one in the world. But instead of…
